you're watching our team broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program now to our top story did three space crew who had to spend an extra day stuck in orbit have returned safely to worth they were held up by a glitch which prevented their so his craft from docking with the space station r.t. sean thomas has more from mission control just outside moscow. everything went according to plan and today in fact around six o two this morning the capsule on dock from the international space station the soyuz t.m.a. eighteen crew then basically started their descent to earth at eight thirty they made their deorbit burn which meant firing the engines that pointed them down towards the earth around nine o'clock in the morning they entered the earth's atmosphere a very fiery environment in fact around nine zero two and we lost signal which is expected it's called an l o s but there's a five minute period of time where you have no idea what is happening with the crew you can only guess that everything is normal based on their last communication before entering that that system and then around at nine o o seven or they came back into the earth's atmosphere deploy their parachutes were

spotted by the helicopters and everything was fine and we've been able to see them getting out of the capsules having their first bite traditionally when they've had the bite of an apple as their first a sustenance back on land except one of them in fact. actually decided to eat a cucumber instead but smiling faces the families happy and at this point in time we're awaiting them to get back to star city in the moscow region when the actual capsule landed there was a big round of applause here and the reason for this is because there was some tense moments yesterday the capsule would not releases from the international space station that was due to a malfunction in the latches. it was a small part that a gear wheel there are millions of parts like in a spacecraft but every small detail affects safety in people's lives so we decided to be on the safe side and make a second attempt at the end. to figure that out yesterday but decided to wait an extra day to make sure that they have the correct time in the cracks trajectory

because there's only a certain window of opportunity for them to be able to make that reentry and land in the correct position so they decided to take that second attempt today and of course the grads of this point alexander swartz of me and tracy caldwell dyson from united states are all back on land safety and they're calling this him. so is eighteen and a success well as this crew gets used to being back on the ground another is getting ready to replace them with the all u.s.s. they've arrived at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan where another so use rocket will blast them towards the heavens and next month. is that star city where she says a friday's hitch has not been there things the asm. it's not a northerner a time a difficult time for cosmonauts and astronauts both currently all within those who are now here on earth preparing to join them in two weeks' time because following friday's first of a problems with the docking everybody's quite nervous but not the three man so you

just landed. a little bit late. so ok it's not a problem it's really a testament to how well the technical experts on the ground and the crew can work together to solve problems you know there was a problem and they fixed it and now they're home safe and our docking port is free so we can dock there. very important well indeed as usual the three space men go into your own rushes to use spacecraft but this time it will be an advanced and more the noise diversion of so you spacecraft called so you steer may and. where and that will be the first ever see you spacecraft to use a digital control system which is supposed to replace previous analog control a system which has been in use for more than three decades before that but it's an integrated vision of the space flight is now a small comfortable and user friendly in his new group and it will give the crew in

law that unity's in orbit it's a good vehicle this remembers of the twenty fifth mission to the international space station now will are expected to spend the next weeks in by canoe in kazakhstan preparing for their spaceflight which is scheduled on their eighth of october. and still ahead research for clues behind tehran's diplomacy bargaining russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind iran's latest twists and turns on the world stage and also. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the island of minute on. french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the succulent region artie's close of team travel seven thousand kilometers from moscow to explore one of the country's most prosperous and picturesque regions. now the health and future of the euro is being debated by economic experts meeting in berlin the eurozone

brought to the brink of collapse in spring by sweeping debt and overspending was only saved by a multi-billion euro bailout and many critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for the single currency artie's lore and it is in berlin for us. thank you didn't. think about six hundred fifty be. honest. about what they think thanks to the. economy thank you for your banking thank you thank you thank you. thank you. made it. all giving me thank you a fundamental thank you thank you thank that it all to pull together to thank want to be seventy one to join you in january have nothing in common. to do we have been put together and. i want to the point the only option will be

because you think you have a referendum on the future that you need to get these people who want it to be to going to do it small hegemony i'm very happy to be joined by don't. deserve an invitation i think you'll call me. what you think a referendum on the. use of force i would support a referendum thank you for watching very much so because of two reasons one reason those people have to decide whether they like a currency or not because of currencies nothing more. nothing that has to be. accepted by the people so if they accept that everything will be fine if they do not accept that it would be the automotive repair and them then the people should have and otherwise never ending story therefore i definitely support

the referendum but the united tells look healthy and today than it did for example three months ago doesn't it do you still think it's going to be a currency. the euro just. stoops seems to be healthy no paper currency in this actually present world is a child so you have the minutes we just do not see it because we see we only compared currencies by it's exchange rate so we see that the euro might be a little bit stronger than the dollar but it doesn't say anything on how it does fundamentally fundamentally we have got deep deep problems that have printed more money than they should and that makes this currency no option. not viable for the future so it just seems to be a strong. party also spoke to dr wilhelm hankel one of the currency experts who

filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout now he says it breaks the basis of monetary union. the whole idea. is illegal because if we force the european community. of this completely forbidden for a very simple reason a country which can cause it to be bailed out not for financial monetary disappear so. no doubt it's a precondition for the stable for your. having now says faith we have to fear so you will never be in future stable currency because it requires only one next day since our portugal spain part of maybe italy and.

so really feel. it's going. to you all. become very very weak. while the full interview with dr wilhelm hankel is on air on sunday right here on r.t. and to our next story now america could soon bear the brunt of a reverse brain drain as the economy in india expands highly qualified immigrants in the u.s. are doing a u. turn and heading back to their homeland artie's priya sridhar went to find out why . ten years ago k.j. saying would have never imagined that he'd be back in india going overseas for higher education was something that the guys who did well in academics that was the first preference there weren't too many jobs in india. in the private sector and so i followed this trend lead saying to a ph d.

a job at a prestigious research institute and ultimately the skills to start his own company but living the american dream wasn't enough the attraction for occurred. it is only when you're sort of doing. and you're sort of pushing to be on the open for whatever you're doing and that really is synonymous with gort if you're looking to sort of. this is that a place to be and this place is bangalore india. the city of six million exports more than thirty billion dollars of i.t. products every year amidst the hustle and bustle of congested roads and street markets is this so by jazz mean a tranquil gated community tucked in the corner of india's silicon valley many immigrants who have left the united states and come back to india have settled in gated communities like this one the residents here say that almost seventy percent of the people who live here came from abroad but one thing they can all agree on is

that you definitely get more bang for your buck here in india in singh's gated community residents can enjoy the olympic sized pool state of the art tennis courts and a playground where there are just as many maids as children to supervise the kids while their parents exercise it's a far cry from the lives these immigrants were leading in america other day to day basis a lot of the things get taken care of into the sweepings well being called into place at the. lords and while most cite india's growing economy as a reason for moving back they won't discount the quality of life as a perk to just ask pooja bhattacharya she worked as an i.t. professional in the us in a double income house but now says her life is better than avar as an indian homemaker i see definitely. you know up to the standard of living in the sense that you have a house. affordability is much better. it's

good the going is good here it's comfortable it's your own country that tops it all . and while the crew at the silver jazz mean are living it up they can't help but wonder if their presence in the united states is missed the united states has enough people to support it so it should have been on the employment situation before the indians come back to while many americans may view immigrants as taking jobs the reality is that indian and chinese immigrants created fifteen percent of the jobs in places of power like silicon valley but now that entrepreneurial spirit is being brought back to the place they started from the economy is definitely booming few of those would look far more opportunities far more it is that they're going to work and the younger generation has a lot more things going on for them and this is good for them this is good for the country a country that gave them the wings to leave but ultimately the roots that drew them back preassure either our t.

bangalore india. iran a will challenge the demands of the u.n. security council for as long as possible despite realizing the need to restart talks over its nuclear program well that's the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who says it's traditional for tehran to adopt this attitude towards diplomatic relations he also said that talks on iran's uranium enrichment could be restarted in the near future five permanent members plus germany agreed to work together on the issue of tehran's nuclear ambitions almost a year ago but according to a lot of rov only now is iran showing signs of cooperating with the atomic watchdog he added that russia's decision not to supply s. three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran was in accordance with the u.n. security council now the foreign minister's comments follow the displays at the u.n. general assembly over the iranian president's speech now that he and john mahmoud ahmadinejad's suggestion that the u.s. could have been behind nine eleven attacks artie's an associate york enough was in

new york explains well the u.s. mainstream media has largely been focusing on barack obama building him up as the host the united states running the show. it's still been mahmoud ahmadinejad really stealing the spotlight being the main leader of the world headlines throughout these last couple of days addressing the united nations general assembly debate in his speech he said that he believes that americans were behind the events of september eleventh and he actually said that he believes that most of the world knows this and this is something that got the u.s. delegation outraged they left the assembly hall and surprisingly it took a little while for barack obama to react to these comments when he did a deal later he said that they're hateful many were thinking that maybe the iranian president words sort of calmed down a little bit but he spoke later at a press conference where he stuck to his opinion take a listen. raises

a very clear discussion on a precise one and event occurred and under the pretext of that event two countries were invaded and up until now hundreds of thousands of people have been killed as a result don't you think that that excuse needs to be revised and you feel that a fact finding mission was present from the start to explore the true reason behind nine eleven that we would not see the catastrophes in afghanistan and iraq why do you assume that all nations should accent what the u.s. government tells them it was reiterating that what the international community wants is dialogue and even though. it has been attacking the united states in several speeches made throughout this week the white house has also said that what it wants is dialogue to take place and the latest that we heard from the reunion leader was that iran is actually prepared for conversation and that talks could come as soon as next month in october speaking at a media conference here in new york the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that several signals have been sent to iran and basically what the

international community is looking for is that iran cooperate with the international atomic energy agency as well as sign up to several important nuclear nonproliferation agreements. international agreements and speaking in an interview with popular t.v. host charlie rose russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said he believes that striking iran would be the worst possible outcome the worst possible scenario and really is not a way to deal with iran at this point take a listen if those threats which we hear from time to time from several quarters. materialist and the forces used against iran. i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in their own. prevailing and deciding that no that we will struck we must have nuclear weapons so striking iran in my view with the shortest way to induce a great man's going nuclear military and this is

a position similar to what mahmoud ahmadinejad has been saying he said that if the united states tries to attack its you remain richmond facilities it can expect a war but the latest that we heard is that mahmoud ahmadinejad has promised that talks should come soon and hopefully some sort of cooperation with the international community is to follow and now it's time to take a journey in our close of series artie transports you to the varied and inspiring regions of russia. and today we continue our trip to one of the country's most exquisite regions where natural beauty is only matched by unique wildlife and rich resources our close of team has traveled seven thousand kilometers from moscow to russia's far. however experts believe over a third of the area's rich and diverse ecology is in danger artie's alexei explored

this mess more eyes of beauty is being protected. risking life or limb special troops descend on the speeding boat middle of the pacific. coast guard in the russian far east this is an almost daily routine big. annual turnover of illegal fishing amounts to millions of dollars. along with a team of officers we come on board a fishing boat they check documents to see whether the versa any right to fish here . this particular boat was legit but officer said this was an exception rather than the rule and xander told us of the biggest highlight of three. years of service here. we identified a vessel belonging to poachers we asked them to stop and fight flares they didn't reply so after an hour we had to open fire after about twenty minutes they stopped

probably being too scared of us shooting at them that was one wild chase alexander came here from the other side of russia and despite nonstop action and hard work he enjoys his time here that is because he projects natural beauty from human harm the beauty which is visible from the very first glance. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the circling island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the boarders own and was completely restricted to visit is now the speech rest place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction.

which is of course that's why many endangered species of by flora and fauna can be found in the underwater world here is all seen nique because of currents in the sea miner on his by michael powell the far east. while some go to the sakhalin region to enjoy the sights others convert the island's nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight show hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious selman caviar almost in their society at tribute of anything in russia the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than a hundred million dollars net profit. and to a large extent this. it is old to do what cycling offers environmentally leave operates in only and natural habitat farms sell when they feed you have to give them a lot of. all sorts of methods in mind to buy audix and things like that to make

sure that it actually survived and this is the natural environment and again while filming is certainly much better than many farm spaces it's a natural product it is as you can see the fish is alive we deliver it live to the factory and you get the best product you can get a mild climate unique natural sites and delicious seafood. for a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination alexi russia of ski r.t. reporting from the cycling region and business news is next to charlotte. hello and welcome to the business program with me. the construction of the north stream gas pipeline is progressing quickly the first phase change to be completed

by next april international crew of more than four hundred specialists so working night and day length pipe at record speed and tell you how clover went to see to what. world's biggest spy plane vessel has started working in the baltic sea only a month ago and already it's one week ahead of schedule having laid forty kilometers of the pipeline so far. three hundred meter long and sixty meter high the vessel is a record holder in deep water pipe lake there over a thousand kilometers ahead but she's progressing fast and more mental concerns were the main obstacle to the north stream pipeline and as an added complication in the waters between russia and finland a full of mine lines left from the second world war but with saw as dynamic positioning system there's little to fear as the vessel can be maneuvered with pinpoint accuracy without having to use and because the technology has helped increase the speed of the operation and also maybe. every

seven minutes the part goes down the vessel moves it's scheduled to lay two point three kilometers a day but we're already reaching two point five kilometers and we believe it's quite possible to reach three kilometers in fact to lay pipe in the sea is cheaper more or less where you have to deal with landowners and compensate them for the vessel has already hosted several dignitaries on its journey towards russia the main promoter of the pipeline the russian prime minister was one of those to go aboard and watch the pipes as they made their way to the sea floor known stream contract is keen to support putin's plans to build more energy links between russia and europe and take on the work it would bring. some of the shots fired we are already talking with. the. person who would. like to carry us. no matter who ultimately wins the battle for the optics and the
